STERLING SILVER, VINTAGE, & PAUA ABALONE PENS

SOLID STERLING SILVER HANDCRAFTED PENS - THE TOSCANA UNO

Looking for the perfect gift? Something classic, yet outstanding and eye catching? The Toscana Uno is it. We have created two pens made from
solid sterling silver. They are handcrafted from .925 Argentium Sterling Silver and will not tarnish as standard sterling silver will. The perfect combination of a work of art that can be
used every day.

The first pen is the Toscana Uno Convertible. This is a true piece of jewelry that can be used as either a rollerball or as a fountain pen by simply
changing the section. Both sections (rollerball and fountain pen) are made from the same .925 Argentium Sterling Silver. The rollerball refill is a Schmidt refill and the fountain pen nib
is a Bock nib. The body of the pen is crafted from vintage Casein for that classic look.

The pen comes with a Lifetime Warranty.

VINTAGE BAKELItE

The second pen is the Toscana Uno Bakelite. The components are the same solid sterling silver as described above. The only difference is that this is
a fountain pen only and cannot be switched to a rollerball. The body of the pen is a classic Bakelite from the 1920’s, the same as used in the collectible vintage pens from that period.
The pen is equipped with a Bock nib.

The pen comes with a Lifetime Warranty (NOTE: WARRANTY DOES NOT APPLY TO INK OR REFILLS).

Classic elegance! Vintage bakelite from the Roaring 20's, handcrafted and polished, with our gold plated Imperatore design. Show your style as you hold an
exciting piece of a by-gone era.

VINTAGE CELLULOSE

Do you like the look and feel of vintage material from the Roaring 20's? We recently acquired some vintage cellulose acetate by Mazzucchelli made in the
1920's. These have been crafted into our exquisite line of Imperatore pens. As noted above all Imperatore Monte Verde pens can be ordered as either a fountain pen with sculpted tip, a
rollerball (no sculpting), or convertible (fountain pen and rollerball tips). Please indicate your choice when ordering.

PAUA ABALONE SHELL

Paua is a species of abalone that is unique to the waters around New Zealand. It is regarded as a gift from the god of the sea and is considered a prized treasure because
of its brilliance and beautiful iridescent appearance. Abalone shell has been used in jewelry making for countless ages. Each strip of the Paua Abalone Shell is carefully hand-cut and
then meticulously applied by hand.

These handcrafted pens are unique and rare works of art and are designed with an elegant flair for the discriminating buyer. Abalone shell is a colorful shell that
incorporates the beautiful colors of the sea.

These collector grade pens are designed with discriminating collectors in mind and handmade using the highest quality components. The pens feature elegant,
engraved custom hand-carved insets on the cap and barrel ends surrounded by brilliant Gold, Rhodium, and Black Titanium plating. The stunning blend of insets and accent band combined with
Gold, Rhodium and Black Titanium plated components combine to make a distinctive pen of unrivaled beauty.

In the tradition of fine desk pens, both the Imperatore Monte Verde and Capolavoro Monte Nero pens are not designed for use with the cap attached to the pen. This
ensures that you will enjoy effortless writing and the perfect balance of the pen every time you use it. Just be sure to leave the pen cap in plain sight where others can see what they're
missing!

The nib on these custom made fountain pen is German-made and features a two-tone fountain nib with genuine iridium point for smooth writing and dependable ink flow. They
come with a J. Herbin ink cartridge.

The rollerball version comes standard with a Schmidt rollerball refill available at any fine office supply store.

All pens come with our Lifetime Guarantee (NOTE: WARRANTY DOES NOT APPLY TO INK OR REFILLS).

HOW OUR PAUA ABALONE PENS ARE MADE

The following is a pictorial description of how our Paua Abalone pens are made. This process is very labor intensive. Once the abalone is harvested, cleaned and
sterilized, the shell is made into inlay sheets as shown in the first photo. Then each strip of abalone is cut by hand and glued to a brass tube. Once the strips completely cover the tube it is
cast in a special aluminite resin under pressure and cured. Each blank is then removed, cut, mounted on the lathe, and individually hand turned - one at a time, sanded, polished, buffed and waxed
(19-step process), and finally assembled by hand, again one at a time.

NOTE: THE CAPOLAVORO MONTE NERO PENS SHOWN BELOW COME WITH THE SAME SCULPTURED DETAIL, BRILLIANT FINISHES AND WARRANTY AS DESCRIBED ABOVE. IN ADDITION, THE CLIP IS INSET WITH A BRILLIANT
SWAROVSKI CRYSTAL.
